IML: Re:'66 Starter topic

["Chris \"Creesto\" Lynch" <creesto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just an update: turned out starter was fine. Apparently, the transmission
repair broke a couple of wires on the starter, one of which went into the
harness. So YAY-no need for new starter.

This should  not unexpected: anytime a major repair is done on a 40 y.o.
car, brittle stuff will suffer.

BTW, what noise would I hear if my wheel bearings needed repacked or
replaced?
